Raw Materials Information System (RMIS): current status & 2024 roadmap
The EC’s Raw Materials Information System (RMIS) is a commitment in the 2015 Circular Economy Action Plan, led and maintained by the JRC. Its latest version (the so-called RMIS 3.0, released in March 2023), introduces major upgrades in terms of web-layout, visual interface and improved search functions, leading to an overall enhanced navigation experience.
RMIS covers the entire value chains of raw materials (mostly metals and minerals from primary and secondary sources) and takes into consideration the materials’ full life cycle. It provides knowledge on raw materials and associated value chains in the context of sustainability, including supply risks and circularity.
RMIS is expected to play a key role in facilitating knowledge needs identified by the CRM (Critical Raw Materials) Act, especially in relations to the Act’s chapter 2 (list of critical and strategic materials), chapter 4 (supply risk monitoring and mitigation), chapter 5 (circularity and environmental footprint), chapter 6 (strategic partnerships) and chapter 7 (governance).
